Grand jury indicts Conroe man on trio of felonies

A Montgomery County man already in jail on two weapons charges and for failure to appear in court was indicted Thursday for allegedly committing a trio of felonies Nov. 2.

A Montgomery County grand jury formally charged Wesley Maloy White, 32, of Conroe, with credit card abuse, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and driving while intoxicated - third or more.

The first two charges normally are state jail felonies. However, White’s prior convictions for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in 2001 and possession of a controlled substance in 2009 allows enhancement of those two counts to third-degree felonies.

The DWI - third or more - charge also is a third-degree felony.

If convicted, each third-degree felony can result in a prison term of two to 10 years and a fine up to $10,000.

White has been in the Montgomery County Jail since his arrest in November. In August, a felony warrant was issued after White failed to appear in court on the charges of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of prohibited weapons.

Each of those charges are third-degree felonies.

White is scheduled to appear in the 9th state District Court of Judge Kelly Case on both cases at 9 a.m. Jan. 24.

William Pattillo, White’s attorney according to records on the District Clerk’s website, could not be reached for comment.
